  • Stop The Fight

    I didn’t think it possible. Benza, the clueless self obsessed alcoholic embarrassment, who has coughed, snorted and whistled through rotting teeth about his mediocre wannabe past of 30+ years ago, setting surreal all time lows, has somehow limboed even lower. The circle jerk “Hair Parts” gives new meaning to “rock bottom” and will actually make you miss the gypsy Charo character mangle the English language. Agovino and Alfred are the Ruth and Gehrig of BORE. If this Benza embarrassment was d... more

  • My Kingdom for a Loaf

    Great show if you enjoy listening to someone spiral out of control. Benza has become so toxic that his gypsy fortune teller friend has left the show and fled back to Ukraine. While his poor sister has to tend to an ailing husband and cook 3 meals a day for the Benz, all he can do is bemoan the lack of crisp Italian bread for his tuna sandwich. I thought he was on a diet!

  • What Happened to this Show?

    Trash. Just absolute trash. Rehashed stories, and constant crying and whining. No new gossip (he has no new sources). He rips off other podcasts or just reads from the NY Post. His substack was a money grab. He hasn’t posted anything since December….
